Juno- the movie
Loved this movie.
Was very disappointed with “Little Miss Sunshine.” The same studio brought you this movie, but the hype is VERY deserved for this film.
Ellen Page is a revelation as this character. It is so well written to begin with, but she turns this sarcastic but earnest character …
Bloodsport movie
I’m not a hugh Jean-Claude Van Damme fan so when I watched this movie, I was already thinking I wasn’t going to be impressed by it. I was right.
It was an OK movie but you could tell it was made in the late 80s when karate movies were becoming …
Fred Claus
We went to see the first of the holiday movies of the season on Sunday. We saw the movie Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn playing Fred, St Nick’s older brother. Sanat is played very well by Paul Giamatti who acutually does everything absouletely perfectly, after all he is …
You, Me and Dupree movie
I’ve seen this movie just recently, I like the film sine it is based on friendship and love. Its a nice story to watch because it has its morals and lessons that points out in the story but I don’t think that its a good movie to watch for …
Love & Death on Long Island
Love & Death on Long Island is a very funny DVD movie that I don’t recommend at all. And when I said funny, it is not that feel-good funny types. Instead, it is more like the worst off funny kind that made my stomach churned while watching. …

The Karate Kid 2010
I had watched the original Karate Kid movies a few tens of times over my life and I really loved them. It was hard for me going to watch the new Karate Kid movie (The Karate Kid 2010), mainly because I was expecting a re-run of the original movie …
The Rebound movie
This movie stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as a mother of two recently separated from her unfaithful husband.
This may contain spoilers. This movie really wasn’t about anything except a rebound who happens to be a younger man who is termed a boy because he doesn’t really know what he’s doing with …
Truman Show
I wanted to write about a movie called The Truman Show. It was a really good movie. It’s about a guy who thinks he’s a regular person in the world, but he starts noticing things are the same every day. The people are the same, the cars are the …

Jesse James (Brad Pitt) was one of the country’s first celebrities. There have been countless books …
Zombiethon [VHS], Horror movie
Going old school with this review and I mean old school. Zombiethon is a VHS that features clips from 7 zombie movies. No, that wasn’t a typo from me; Zombiethon is just a collection of other movies. Why would something like even be created? Maybe the same reason why …
Spring Breakdown
Well, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my wife and I watched the movie Spring Breakdown last night. I didn’t know if it was going to be a chick flick or if it would have a lot of unnecessary sex scenes in it.
It turned out to have neither …

Dough a dentist who wanted to be respect from his teenage son. Dudly who is a computer programer who is not lucky in his lovelife. …
The Moonstone movie
The Moonstone is an whodunit motion picture that is actually intriguing. I pretty much enjoyed it from beginning to end. The interesting thing about that is that there’s nothing magical or outstanding about the plot.
At key moments, for example, each member of the cast gives that ‘I’m …

The Ballad of Josie
Doris Day and Peter Graves star in The Ballad of Josie, a western more or less about a widowed woman who strives to keep her ranch going after the death of her husband. Though most of the town is against her, she perseveres, with the assistance and support, …
Night at the Museum
‘Night at the Museum’ directed by Shawn Levy has very peculiar story which interests my a strange manner. In general, it is movie which kids will enjoy more. But, that does not mean that it does not deserve adult viewers. Ben Stiller, playing the lead role has acted to …
Left Behind movie
Left Behind is a great set/series of movies. The Left Behind movies detail what it will be like once Jesus Christ returns to collect His chosen people. This movie details what happens to those left behind. I have read all of the Left Behind books but I have to …
My Sassy Girl
What I really like about the movie “My Sassy Girl” is that at the beginning it gives you an impression that it just an average romantic movie; however in the last half hour of this movie things change completely. This movie moves from creating to a happy-go-lucky atmosphere to …

Yankee Doodle Goes to Town movie short
I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …
The Birds movie
The Birds is a movie about people on an island where the birds, for no reason, go wild and begin attacking everyone. The Birds starts off quite normally, with a beautiful young woman shopping at a pet store for Mynah birds. That is the irony of this film, and …
The Danish Girl (2015 Film)
Period dramas are not that interesting to me unless they are released to compete for awards. Take for example “Age of Adaline”, it was very nonsensical and boring because it was solely made for entertainment. It was presented like it was a true story but it was purely science fiction.
Dramas …
The Joy Luck Club (Movie)
I was forced to watch this movie as part of a requirement of a social work module of mine that had to deal with some sociocultural issues, and so, against my will, I went to my school library and borrowed this movie to watch it. The movie, my friend …
The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …
War (Movie)
War is a movie that I was actually looking forward to seeing because I’ve recently become a big fan of Jason Statham. For some reason though I kept forgetting about the movie. When I saw that Blockbuster had previously viewed copies of the movie for about $5, I knew …
Snakes on a Plane (movie)
I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …
Snatch Movie
A british comedy from director Guy Ritchie is a classic masterpiece of movie making. Action, comedy and revenge are the spices that bring this movie to life. Even with non British actors such as Brad Pitt playing a bare knuckle, incoherent Scotsman. With underground boxing, British hitmen, a Russian …
Mr. Woodcock, movie
Everyone remembers one teacher one teacher that seemed to have it out for them. Maybe it was a pesky history teacher, or the woman with the grey hair who stood guard in American lit, but for most of us, it was the most dreaded of all the primary school …
Sweet Home Alabama comedy
Sweet Home Alabama is a nice romantic comedy. The movie has Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, and Patrick Dempsey playing the main roles. All three of them managed to give impressive performances and this makes this movie worth watching. Jake and Melanie are two childhood friends from Alabama and are …
Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …
Movie: The Dark Ages
I had some free time yesterday because I decided to take the day off from work and didn’t have my youngest daughter like I thought would be the case. Since I had to wait for my wife to get home before leaving to do something, I ended up looking …

Legally Blonde

Movie: Freedom Writers (2007)
“Freedom Writers” (2007) was released so early in 2007 that I forgot it was eligible for the upcoming Academy Awards. Apparently so did members of the Academy because it received no nominations. The 123 minute Paramount Pictures movie is in English, filmed in color, and takes place in Long …
Fearless Jet Li
Jet Li is truly a great martial artist and actor. I loved him in this film because he played a character with complexity. He started off as a weak child that constantly tried to overcome a bully. Later he grew up to become a great fighter that allowed vanity …
Last of the Pony Riders (1953 Movie)
B-westerns may not be everyone’s cup of tea, to some they may seem a bit hokey, and when the film in question is not only a b-western, but a singing cowboy adventure as well, then the audience narrows even further. All of that taken into consideration, Last of the …

Starring Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas as expert hitmen with opposite goals. Sylvesters character Robert Rath wants out of the hitman business, and just wants to lead a simple, normal life.

The Incredible Hulk (2008 version)
“The Incredible Hulk” is a great movie but unfortunately it was released during the same period as another great blockbuster “Iron Man” and so member of the general public tend to do comparisims. Although “The Incredible Hulk” has got all the right ingredients for a …
Fallen Angels movie
This was the last film where Wong Kar-Wai used the same style he did with his earlier As tears go by, Hong Kong Express and, in some sense, The days of being wild. The difference between these films and his later, more sublime style, is that the story is …
Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …
Private Eyes movie
My son is at an age where he is starting to appreciate more than just animated movies. So, over the course of the Halloween season, he was introduced to some of our favorite ghost and mystery comedies.
One of the films we watched was Private Eyes, starring Tim Conway …
American Reunion (2012 movie)
After seven films of the American Pie series, an average fan would say there is nothing much more to be offered.
Well, I am not a fan, but whatever dissapointments there were with the previous seven if there were some at all, I could …
Robot & Frank (2012)
This is a movie about an elderly man. Yes, it’s got a robot in it and, yes, the old man used to be a cat burglar, but it’s still a movie about an old person. That may not excite some of the younger generation. But for those of us …
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
I just got done watching Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince for the second time since it’s come out. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I have read all the books and have seen all the movies up until now. The books have never disappointed me, and …
